* Merge branch 'nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs'Junio C Hamano2015-05-19
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A heuristic to help the "git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" command line convention to catch mistyped paths is to make sure all the non-rev parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c" must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see. Loosen the heuristic to declare that with a wildcard string the user likely meant to give us a pathspec. * nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs: pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used
| * pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is usedDuy Nguyen2015-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When "--" is lacking from the command line and a command can take both revs and paths, the idea is if an argument can be seen as both an extended SHA-1 and a path, then "--" is required or git refuses to continue. It's currently implemented as: (1) if an argument is rev, then it must not exist in worktree (2) else, it must exist in worktree (3) else, "--" is required. These rules work for literal paths, but when non-literal pathspec is involved, it almost always requires the user to add "--" because it fails (2) and (1) is really rarely met (take "*.c" for example, (1) is met if there is a ref named "*.c"). This patch modifies the rules a bit by considering any valid (*) wildcard pathspec "exist in worktree". The rules become: (1) if an arg is a rev, then it must either exist in worktree or not be a valid wildcard pathspec. (2) else, it either exists in worktree or is a wildcard pathspec (3) else, "--" is required. With the new rules, "--" is not needed most of the time when wildcard pathspec is involved.

* | prune: strategies for linked checkoutsNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2014-12-01

The use case is auto fixup after a manual checkout move. - linked checkouts are supposed to update mtime of $R/gitdir. If $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a limit, and it points to nowhere, worktrees/<id> is to be pruned. - If $R/locked exists, worktrees/<id> is not supposed to be pruned. If $R/locked exists and $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a really long limit, warn about old unused repo. - "git checkout --to" is supposed to make a hard link named $R/link pointing to the .git file on supported file systems to help detect the user manually deleting the checkout. If $R/link exists and its link count is greated than 1, the repo is kept.

* | setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setupNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2014-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The repo setup procedure is updated to detect $GIT_DIR/commondir and set $GIT_COMMON_DIR properly. The core.worktree is ignored when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set. This is because the config file is shared in multi-checkout setup, but checkout directories _are_ different. Making core.worktree effective in all checkouts mean it's back to a single checkout.

* | add `config_set` API for caching config-like filesTanay Abhra2014-07-29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves. Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`, `~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value` and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets. `git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`). `git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar. Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide ~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set` is populated using `git_config()`. Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and `git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from `the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

* Merge branch 'mw/symlinks'Junio C Hamano2014-05-02

| * setup: fix windows path buffer over-steppingMartin Erik Werner2014-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a buffer over-stepping issue triggered by providing an absolute path that is similar to the work tree path. abspath_part_inside_repo() may currently increment the path pointer by offset_1st_component() + wtlen, which is too much, since offset_1st_component() is a subset of wtlen. For the *nix-style prefix '/', this does (by luck) not cause any issues, since offset_1st_component() is 1 and there will always be a '/' or '\0' that can "absorb" this. In the case of DOS-style prefixes though, the offset_1st_component() is 3 and this can potentially over-step the string buffer. For example if work_tree = "c:/r" path = "c:/rl" Then wtlen is 4, and incrementing the path pointer by (3 + 4) would end up 2 bytes outside a string buffer of length 6. Similarly if work_tree = "c:/r" path = "c:/rl/d/a" Then (since the loop starts by also incrementing the pointer one step), this would mean that the function would miss checking if "c:/rl/d" could be the work_tree, arguably this is unlikely though, since it would only be possible with symlinks on windows. Fix this by simply avoiding to increment by offset_1st_component() and wtlen at the same time.

| * setup: don't dereference in-tree symlinks for absolute pathsMartin Erik Werner2014-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The prefix_path_gently() function currently applies real_path to everything if given an absolute path, dereferencing symlinks both outside and inside the work tree. This causes most high-level functions to misbehave when acting on symlinks given via absolute paths. For example $ git add /dir/repo/symlink attempts to add the target of the symlink rather than the symlink itself, which is usually not what the user intends to do. In order to manipulate symlinks in the work tree using absolute paths, symlinks should only be dereferenced outside the work tree. Modify the prefix_path_gently() to first normalize the path in order to make sure path levels are separated by '/', then pass the result to 'abspath_part_inside_repo' to find the part inside the work tree (without dereferencing any symlinks inside the work tree). For absolute paths, prefix_path_gently() did not, nor does now do, any actual prefixing, hence the result from abspath_part_in_repo() is returned as-is. Fixes t0060-82 and t3004-5.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to extract the part of an absolute path which lies inside the repo, it is not possible to directly use real_path, since that would dereference symlinks both outside and inside the work tree. Add an abspath_part_inside_repo() function which first checks if the work tree is already the prefix, then incrementally checks each path level by temporarily NUL-terminating at each '/' and comparing against the work tree path. If a match is found, it overwrites the input path with the remainder past the work tree (which will be the part inside the work tree). This function is currently only intended for use in 'prefix_path_gently'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a relative_path as git_dir first appears in v1.5.6-1-g044bbbc. It will make git_dir shorter only if git_dir is inside work_tree, and this will increase performance. But my last refactor effort on relative_path function (commit v1.8.3-rc2-12-ge02ca72) changed that. Always use relative_path as git_dir may bring troubles like $gmane/234434. Because new relative_path is a combination of original relative_path from path.c and original path_relative from quote.c, so in order to restore the origin implementation, save the original relative_path as remove_leading_path, and call it in setup.c.

In most cases, we need a real relative path, such as: ../foo, ../../bar. That's why there is another reimplementation (path_relative()) in quote.c. Borrow some codes from path_relative() in quote.c to refactor relative_path() in path.c, so that it could return real relative path, and user can reuse this function without reimplementing his/her own. The function path_relative() in quote.c will be substituted, and I would use the new relative_path() function when implementing the interactive git-clean later. Different results for relative_path() before and after this refactor: abs path base path relative (original) relative (refactor) ======== ========= =================== =================== /a/b /a/b . ./ /a/b/ /a/b . ./ /a /a/b/ /a ../ / /a/b/ / ../../ /a/c /a/b/ /a/c ../c /x/y /a/b/ /x/y ../../x/y a/b/ a/b/ . ./ a/b/ a/b . ./ a a/b a ../ x/y a/b/ x/y ../../x/y a/c a/b a/c ../c (empty) (null) (empty) ./ (empty) (empty) (empty) ./ (empty) /a/b (empty) ./ (null) (null) (null) ./ (null) (empty) (null) ./ (null) /a/b (segfault) ./ You may notice that return value "." has been changed to "./".

For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails, as we expect git config alias.st status git status ;# does not fail, but should What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we do not have one). Then when we actually run the status command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree. It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use the values we already found in memory. However, the problem still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were an external command). You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails git --bare status ;# does NOT fail We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree". We could do it by putting a special token into GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has some portability problems. Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE, which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we are in a bare setting. The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting it further.

It should therefore be cleared whenever GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared. In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing. While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

Because those entries are compared textually to the symlink-resolved current directory, an entry in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contained a symlink would have no effect. It was known that this could cause performance problems if the symlink resolution *itself* touched slow filesystems, but it was thought that such use cases would be unlikely. The intention of the earlier change was to deal with a case when the user has this: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/home/gitster but in reality, /home/gitster is a symbolic link to somewhere else, e.g. /net/machine/home4/gitster. A textual comparison between the specified value /home/gitster and the location getcwd(3) returns would not help us, but readlink("/home/gitster") would still be fast. After this change was released, Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> reported: > [...] my computer has been acting so slow when I’m not connected to > the network.

To allow users to work around this problem, give them a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES entries. All the entries that follow an empty entry will not be checked for symbolic links and used literally in comparison. E.g. with these: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=:/foo/bar:/xyzzy or GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/foo/bar::/xyzzy we will not readlink("/xyzzy") because it comes after an empty entry. With the former (but not with the latter), "/foo/bar" comes after an empty entry, and we will not readlink it, either.

Currently we see ":/abc" as a rev (most of the time), but never see it as a pathspec even if "abc" exists and "git log :/abc" will gladly take ":/abc" as rev even it's ambiguous. This patch makes it: - ambiguous when "abc" exists on worktree - a rev if abc does not exist on worktree - a path if abc is not found in any commits (although better use "--" to avoid ambiguation because searching through commit DAG is expensive) A plus from this patch is, because ":/" never matches anything as a rev, it is never considered a valid rev and because root directory always exists, ":/" is always unambiguously seen as a pathspec.

But this doesn't work if any of the prefixes involves a symbolic link, because the directories will look different even though they might logically refer to the same directory. So canonicalize the paths listed in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES using real_path_if_valid() before passing them to longest_ancestor_length(). (Also rename normalize_ceiling_entry() to canonicalize_ceiling_entry() to reflect the change.) path is already in canonical form, so doesn't need to be canonicalized again. This fixes some problems with using GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contains paths involving symlinks, including t4035 if run with --root set to a path involving symlinks. Please note that test t0060 is *not* changed analogously, because that would make the test suite results dependent on the contents of the local root directory. However, real_path() is already tested independently, and the "ancestor" tests cover the non-normalization aspects of longest_ancestor_length(), so coverage remains sufficient.

Use slightly different normalizations at the two callers: In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which ignores paths that are not usable. In the next commit we will change this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization. In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable. Also change t0060 to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove tests that thereby become redundant). The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing only mostly longest_prefix. This is necessary because when setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is run. HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths. So we have to retain the level of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use forward slashes.
